Step into the bustling markets of Byzantium as a clever merchant looking to maximize your profits. Players bid on various goods to collect sets of three cards of the same item. The game revolves around strategic bidding, where you must decide when to invest your resources and when to sell your collected wares. As the auction progresses, players will have the chance to grab valuable cards while also paying a "tax" to the market.

The game starts with players holding a handful of goods cards to use for bidding. Each round features different offers based on the number of players, and the highest offer card determines how many goods will be up for auction. Players take turns increasing their bids or passing. Once all cards have been auctioned, the player with the most sets of goods wins. You can also sell sets of three cards from your hand at any time, adding another layer of strategy. With a mix of goods and merchant cards, every choice counts in your quest for wealth!
